I see these sizes pop every now and then mostly with non dropped LS460's ( 255/30/22 and a 295/25/22 ). Anyone have any pics of an LS with these tire sizes and no drop. Thanks

 

knowing you, drop the car, it won't look pretty with 22s and factory height

 

I was just looking at a pic of my GS and just thought I need to drop this car. I just feel apprehensive because the ride quality on this car is insane. Hypothetically If you do springs do they still need to rip out the back seats?? The stance with the Tanabe springs isnt bad but I want to avoid sagging.

 

yes they have to. they need to remove the rear seats to access the strut towers.

well, you know my position on springs vs coilovers. and seeing you on the forum the past 3 yrs, i know what to expect out of you

 

Dude, the car looks perfect the way it is in the picture. I can see lowering it an inch max, but other than it looks great. I am not a fan of super dropped cars, I personally like a more aggressive stock look and yours is perfect.

 

I am going to just do the Megan set up and call it a day. The point is to learn from our mistakes. No Tanabe's for me. Thanks Henry

I was talking about making MY LS460 sit like my GS350. I love the way the car looks with a flush set of wheels and no gap. I agree , I am not into the super slammed look.

 

is any body running a 22x9.5 in the front with a 265/30/22 and in the back 22x10.5 with a 295/25/22 and do it rub .....on a ls460

 

that's the wheel and tire sizes i ran. however, rub or not mostly depends on offsets. those are factory diameter, if offset is right, you are probably ok

 

I am still wondering about the 255/30/22 on a 9.5"x22, and a 295/25/22 on a 10.5x22. My concern is the massive weight of the car. I need to protect the wheels and ride quality as much as possible.

Rominl did you have to do fender mods? If you guys are running 265/30 then I am sure a 255/30 will clear. I am doing Vossen VVS082's. Not sure of the offsets

 

i ran aggressive offsets so i had to do fender mods. but i know people with similar setup and never any problems.

vossen's offsets for ls460 (22") are pretty conservative, don't think you will have problem.

 

Im running the 22X9.0 and 22X11 with 265/30 and 295/25 in the rear, and dont have any rubbing issues up front at all. However in the rear, I run a pretty aggressive offset so I had to do some fender mods as well. As far as ride quality, make sure you get some good tires. Im running the Continentals and they ride really well. The only difference from stock is that you hear and feel bit more of the road, primarily because of the low profile and width, but I like it. Factory was just too "cushy" for me.

Here's a better pic to show you what the stance looks like with factory suspension. I'm not a fan of the slammed look, personally.

 

Found this. I posted it in case someone in the future wants a picture

 

some more pics of 255/30/22 and 295/25/22

 

Is that your ride?? Niice if so..woundering are those with springs or coilovers??
